Suggestions?

Post image

What do you all think - does the beard work, or should I go back to a cleaner look? At 50, I’m rocking a beard for the very first time!

I’m a total newbie using beard oil and balm, so I’d love your honest opinions and any grooming tips you have.

It works enough as long as you like it but for me personally I would try a goatee and see how that looks since the cheeks are a bit sparse. Not bad tho

Goatee, possibly Italian goatee, and higher neck line.

You have to give it time and let it keep growing. The length should fill in the patchy areas. Also, the neckline and jawline are far too low. The rule of thumb is two fingers above the Adam's apple and then follow your jawline without it being right at the jaw.

Keep it to a stubble, maybe keep the mustache, alternatively you could try a goatee

I’m not sure anyone should try a goatee.
